The shortest ping time I have ever gotten on Starband is 670ms. So that host must not be on a geosynchronous satellite link. iDirect and Nera (dvb-rcs/linux) have the shortest overall lagtime between 480 and 520 msec Unsasat (docsis/vxworks) is between 500 and 550 Direcway (dvb-rcs/vxworks) between 700 and 2000 (or worse) Do any residential services use these satellites/providers for their service? we have also 2 SIP voip lines running and the delays are not really noticeable with iDirect, Nera and UnaSat don't try such a service with DW or hughesnet, they have a widespread name, but the qos is terrible, specially in the upload part I'm pretty sure Starband monitors their network pretty closely and wouldn't allow that. I can't even do a VPN to work. Yet another reason I'm thinking making a change. Thanks, Sam Scanned by WinProxy http://www.Ositis.com/
